The Upper Tribunal have refused an application for a referral to the CJEU in the Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme Trustees litigation on withholding tax for manufactured overseas dividends in stock lending transactions, ahead of the Upper Tribunal hearing on the substantive issues. The taxpayer had argued that, in the light of the UK’s impending exit from the EU, a delay in referral to the CJEU could deprive them of the CJEU’s assistance in resolving the questions of EU law at stake in the case. The Upper Tribunal hope appropriate transitional arrangements are put in place which allow a reference by a UK Court post-Brexit where the issue relates to a period prior to a leave date. The case will now proceed to an appeal hearing before the Upper Tribunal.
